Easter Greetings--Color Throwdown #37

[Don't forget to vote for your favorite Idol contestant (hopefully me!) from 10pm EDT tonight, April 7th until 10pm EDT tomorrow night April 8th! You'll find the poll here.]

Yippee! It's Color Throwdown day!!! We're up to #37! Today's colors are Pirouette Pink, Cameo Coral, and Sage Shadow, chosen by LeAnne Pugliese, who is our hostess today.


My base card is Whisper White with layers of Sage Shadow, Cameo Coral, and Pirouette Pink, on which I did a little paper piercing. The next element is Sage Shadow and Cameo Coral, both with punched borders, and a layer of DP from the Two Scoops 6 x 6 pad by Basic Grey with a Pirouette Pink wannabe double-faced satin ribbon tied 'round in a bow. The focal image is from the MFT Happy Mother's Day set and was stamped on Gina K Pure Luxury 80 lb with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. It was paper pieced/colored with Copic markers (see below) and is layered on Pirouette Pink and Cameo Coral. Then it was popped up with 3M foam squares on Sage Shadow that was cut/embossed with my new Labels Three Nestabilities die which was also popped up on foam squares. The sentiment is from MFT Hoppy Easter set and was stamped in the same way, punched out with a 1" circle punch, and layered on the challenge colors that were punched with the small oval punch. The oval flat-backed pearls are from Martha Stewart--I thought they resembled eggs, LOL.
